Georgia GOP Reps. Buddy Carter and Barry Loudermilk probed MLB commissioner Robert Manfred, Jr., on how the league will 'redress the harm' caused by moving the 2021 All-Star Game.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, argues big corporations are 'becoming the woke enforcers of the Democratic party.'commissioner Robert Manfred, Jr., to "redress the harm" caused by the league pulling its 2021 All-Star Game from Georgia.
Carter and Loudermilk wrote that the "May 2022 primary elections were the first state-wide elections held in Georgia" since the bill’s enactment and that despite "false allegations that it was a racist law designed to suppress voter turnout, with President Biden himself deeming it ‘Jim Crow 2.0,’ these elections actually saw a record turnout."
Loudermilk and Carter blasted the Democrats, Biden, and"the woke mob" for lying about Georgia’s election integrity bill and pointed to the provisions in the law that expand access to voting in the Peach State. The Peach State lawmakers wrote the Atlanta Braves "ultimately overcame this politicization" and won the 2021 World Series pennant but expressed their sadness that the "MLB fell victim to the lies spread about what our state law truly does and were bullied into moving the All-Star game out of Georgia."
"In your statement last year announcing that MLB would move the game from Atlanta to Denver, Colorado, you said ‘Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box…Fair access to voting continues to have our game’s unwavering support.’"
